Product rules
Completing the New or Save As form

Create a new product rule by selecting Product from the SysAdmin category.

The key to a product rule instance has two parts:

Field	Description
Product Name	Enter a Product name. Begin the name with a letter and use only alphanumeric, ampersand, and dash characters.
Product Version	Enter a version name that includes only letters, digits, and a dash character. (This unrestricted value need not match a RuleSet version.) B-16184

Choose with care the RuleSet and version into which you place a new product rule. The direct or indirect prerequisites of that RuleSet version, as listed in the Requires RuleSets and Versions list of the RuleSet Version form, must include the RuleSets and versions to be included in the product.B-15151

For general information on the New form, see Completing the new rule dialog box. For general information on the Save As form, see How to enter rule keys using Save As.

Rule resolution

FTTF Product rules are rarely referenced by other rules. However, when searching for a Product rule, the system:

• Filters candidate rules based on a requestor's RuleSet list of RuleSets and versions
• Finds circumstance-qualified rules that override base rules with the same key

Time-qualified resolution features are not available for Product rules.
